The 'L'Ouvrée des Dames' Assortment Case is a highly curated, limited-edition collection from Maison Joseph Drouhin that pays tribute to the historical role of women in Burgundy's viticultural heritage, championed today by fourth-generation head winemaker Véronique Drouhin. The name references the 'ouvrée'—an ancient Burgundian land measurement representing the area of vines a single person could work in a day. This exceptional assortment brings together a selection of Drouhin's most prestigious Premier Cru climats from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Each bottle in the collection showcases the estate's dedication to biodynamic farming, elegant extraction, and the pure, unadorned expression of terroir, offering a masterclass in Burgundy's diverse soils.
